Just remove the lid for a few minutes to let it cool quicker. I have a couple of those things too...careful with pressing the drink button the first couple of times after filling it up (unless you actually like steam in the face, then carry on...)

Lol, wut? How did you not include Foxnews in that statement, and say it with a straight face?

They did it first, and still do it best, but man, MSNBC was always somewhat close, and CNN went off the deep end. It's been a slow burn, with them scrambling to fill time when there's nothing to talk about, like the 24 hours after Newtown when it was all they could discuss despite there being nothing new to discuss, or the Malaysian airline, but now they're showing they totally forgot how to do news and just do dumb opinions. For every decent journalist they have there are 6 Wolf Blitzers. Which still makes them more honest than Fox News (who isn't more honest than Hannity?), but also more inept, and just unwatchable.

Oh, I agree that CNN and to a lesser degree MSNBC are corporate whores, but at least it's just greed that drives them Foxnews is in another class of propaganda. And despite what the right wants people to believe, MSNBC is not the left's equivalent of Foxnews. They're definitely left-leaning, but they are not the mouthpiece for the DNC.

I could never really get into Rune when it came out, although I loved the look of it. The platform aspects and huge confusing levels killed it for me. I remember being stuck on the first real level for hours, in the first damn cave.

I love Better Call Saul, but if they continue it on much longer, I won't be able to suspend my disbelief in Bob Odenkirk playing a younger Saul than in Breaking Bad. Or Mike for that matter...he's looking pretty rough lately.

I've gotten over my initial puzzlement over their choice of Idris for Roland, but that trailer didn't leave me hopeful about the movie. The scene where he loads his revolvers by somehow catching the bullets in the revolvers' cylinders in midair just dripped of Hollywood action movie crap. I'm afraid they're turning The Dark Tower into The Fast and The Furious, Mid-World Edition.

Also, I was disappointed by what was shown of McConaughey. Flagg is a character that would benefit from his more eccentric performances, and they didn't indicate that that would be the direction he was taking. He just looks like your typical action movie bad guy. Oh well, wait and see i guess.

Shame on you Hollywood...you have forgotten the face of your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

About that. Westinghouse was the guy who firmly believed in Tesla's AC model and provided the funding to make it happen.

Though Westinghouse today is a subsidiary of Toshiba.

If anything, he'd be a lot more joyous if Edison's descendant companies all went out of business.

Westinghouse also screwed Tesla out of royalties. The original contract said that Tesla would get a royalty on ever kilowatt generated, but Westinghouse realized this would be a huge amount of money. So he begged Tesla to forfeit the royalties, saying his board would kick him out otherwise. Tesla agreed, as he felt that Westinghouse was the only one who believed in his ideas. Tesla died penniless.
